Every year, it becomes safer, more comfortable, and more accessible to walk, bicycle, or take transit in Minneapolis. At the margin, this means enormous savings for some households—savings that largely recirculate in our local economy, rather than going to out-of-state car makers or oil companies.

For the past few years, AAA's has estimated that the average new car will cost its owner roughly $1k/mo, or $12k/yr. The single most impactful way for most American households to cut their spending would be to reduce the # of cars they own by one. But the built environment needs to be amenable.

St Pauli and MN United doubleheader this weekend starting at 11:30am on Sunday! @blackhartstp.com will be the place to be!

Wow, Minneapolis and St Paul mayor's serving major blows to their constituents today.

My axe to grind but a fail to the people who were assaulted on Rose Ave by ICE and SPPD last Nov.

The same mayor who told the police chief not to come to a community forum that was attended by every city councilmember about this event. (Besides one who was on maternity leave, and provided a statement) We need genuine accountability, not empty words of support. The East Side will remember this.

There's no reason a street that has a bus route on it in Minneapolis or Saint Paul should have two car lanes in the same direction on it, but no bus lanes.

A library of things is a vital part of a 15 minute city

I was going for Benfica until their players and fans started making racist remarks, chants, and throwing things on the field at Vini Jr. I don't know how no one from their team was sent off with a red card, and how the game was allowed to continue. That should've forced a forfeit.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

You would be freaked out if you saw 25% of drivers drinking a beer, right? Using a phone is no different.

Ride in a bike lane and glance into every car that you pass and you'll see an extremely high percentage of people staring at their phones. It's terrible and frightening

Sports teams should be a non-profit that is collectively owned by supporters who elect a board of directors and one of the board members should be required to be a member of the local city council. I love sports! I'm so tired of paying for stadiums owned by billionaires www.enr.com/articles/625...

12 people on a Eastbound Gold Line bus at 10:50pm despite the 30 minute frequency. But tell me again how "nobody rides the Gold Line"

This is EXACTLY what St. Paul has been warning about all these years.

For Saint Paul folks interested in a Ride-to-the-Ride meet at Hidden River Middle School at 12pm (1683 Grand Ave), ride leaves promptly at 12:15pm

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

We’re just not a free country. Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, plus the New York Times story about using facial recognition to take away PreCheck and Global Entry from observers, reveals how closely linked these two missions are. There is no separating ICE’s twin missions of ethnic cleansing and ideological terror.

ilhan omar said last night it’s about retribution and intimidating us into submission, not about immigration. she talked about citizens hiding because what’s happening in the streets here is like the countries they fled and her family hid, then fled. but where can you go from the US now?

For those who don't know, Georgia Fort is a 3 time Midwest Emmy Award winner Co-Founder of Power 104.7 Founder of BLCK Press Founder and President of the Center for Broadcast Journalism And now the symbol of Trump trying to end the freedom of the press Once again, Free Georgia Fort!

Free Georgia Fort! Journalism is not a crime!

Woah this NYC isometric map (looks just like Simcity 2000) is blowing my mind! cannoneyed.com/isometric-nyc/

Money getting tight? 75% Ground beef is $1.50 a lb, Ground chicken is $1 a lb at Sun World on Arcade Street.

Can anyone who has experience with the caucus process and resolutions please send me a dm? I'm new to a lot of this stuff and it would be useful to learn more and bounce some thoughts off someone.

So what actually is the solution to using their phone and driving. Because whatever we've been doing isn't making any kind of a dent. If anything more people are doing it than ever before.

In Men's Basketball, St Thomas and North Dakota State are a combined 14-1 in conference play with the only loss being St Thomas to North Dakota State in Fargo They play again in Saint Paul on Feb 26th College Sports is so much better when conferences are regional and everyone plays each other!

Kickoff this evening for a StP Right To Repair ordinance campaign. Give renters the right to fix things their landlords neglect, and get compensated. A similar ordinance passed in Duluth last year. I believe they are currently in the signature gathering phase. actionnetwork.org/events/safe-...

Words can't describe the respect I have for Christin! She's shown up consistently for so many, including a long time friend of mine. The difference between her helping or not, was life altering for him! I wish I could vote for her, but since I don't live in Mpls y'all gotta do it for me!

We are winning, but the ethnic cleansing is continuing. We need to stay locked in and protect our neighbors.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

at this point I have no idea what day it is, keep forgetting to eat, and am getting approximately ten Signal messages a minute, so if I owe you an email or something it’s probably late, I’m sorry

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

As an advocate for density, these last couple weeks have made me think a lot about how density forces us to support each other. Not literally, but the whistles have a much bigger impact where people can hear them. I worry about the less dense areas struggling to fight back because of this.

Shout-out the transfer points that have a bar at the corner. Helps pass the 20 minute wait

They said Nekima and Chauntyll were trying to intimidate people into not exercising their freedom of religion. Meanwhile I'm standing in front of a church today that's seen their membership decline from 150-175 to 10-20 in the last couple months

I was invited to be a judge for the 2025-26 Minnesota Regional Future City Competition. It's an honor to see the next generation of people who are passionate about making sure our cities are sustainable and livable.

Im proud to have door knocked for Brad Tabke for the last election. And am looking forward to doing some more TOD, Transit Oriented Doorknocking for him and others as we get closer to this next election. If your interested, let me know!

The judge hearing the appeal to the original judges decision of conditional release for Nekima, Chauntyll, and William has ordered their release from Sherburne County Jail

Free William Kelly Free Chauntyll Allen Free Nekima Levy Armstrong

The judge who's hearing the appeal on whether Nekima and Chauntyll will be released or not has the file and should give the ruling in approximately 20 minutes

Just left the courtroom. The judge ordered a conditional release for Chauntyll Allen and Nekima Levy Armstrong. The government is appealing a review, and the judge granted a stay on that release for 1 hour while the Government appeals

Twin cities folks, I know we’re under seige and thinking about longer term issues is mostly having to be back burner. But there’s a TRANSIT REP position in Met Council’s Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) needing a good steward! Maybe that’s you?! Transit needs more voices on TAB!

If you want to help influence what we spend federal infrastructure money on in the Twin Cities, and are a regular transit user. There's still time to apply to be the Transit rep on the Transportation Advisory Board!! metrocouncil.org/Council-Meet...

The ABRT presentation released today claims 'No major outstanding questions about alignments, termini, or network structure', however the K Line would end roughly at the border of Bloomington, missing apartments and businesses currently served by the 18E. This feels shortsighted.

Was chasing ICE on foot for a mile. Almost got run over.

It's worth remembering that Dawanna Witt is up for reelection in 2026.
